Timing is on our side tonight. Sitting here on the western slope, a little
rain off and on, watching the winter storm warnings for the front-range on
the television. We’re not on the front-range. Of course we’ll have to
drive our motorhome in the snow sooner or later. Later would be just fine.
We’ll be happy if that’s where the winter storm stays, on the television.
Cortez
The drive over Lizardhead Pass to Cortez. Fall just goes on and on. With
the elevation range, from five thousand feet to fourteen thousand feet, it
doesn’t all happen at once. Stands of aspen on the hillsides, narrowleaf cottonwoods along the streams.
Classic southwestern Colorado.
Football
21 to 19, Broncos. Those Redskins never had a chance.
Cortez
Broncos Football Sunday. I don’t know why the other team even bothers to
show up, the Broncos are so good. Nobody can run against that defensive
line, and if the Broncos could find some way to keep Lenny Walls on the
bench they wouldn’t even complete a pass, or get an interference call. Go Broncos. Superbowl.
Ridgway
On overview of the campground below. That’s us, tucked way in the back, the
stream winding behind. The Uncompahgre. It flows north to meet the
Gunnison. Catch and release water, flies and lures only, downstream from a
dam. Good combination.
